Shinken can be used to send sms to you and other people when you got an alert.

I will tell you how to do it with ovh gateway. If you need for another one you need to modify a little bit the information.

1. you need to go to your contact file which is for linux in /etc/shinken/contacts/¶

For each user you need to add her phone number in the pager line. (For ovh you need to do it with 0032 for example and not +32 , all phone number must be with the international prefix).

In the same file you need also to add these lines in each contact you want that I receive ams.

host_notifications_enabled 1 // This will activate the notifications for the hosts
service_notifications_enabled 1 // This will activate the notifications for the services
notificationways SMS // This is the name of your notifications ways ( You can write what you want but remember what you set )

Then you need to add this at the end of the contacts.cfg

define notificationway{
notificationway_name SMS // Here you need to put the name of the notifications ways you write up
service_notification_period 24x7 // Here I will receive ams all the time, If you want to receive them for only the night replace 24x7 by night.
host_notification_period 24x7 // Same as above
service_notification_options w,c,r // It tell that I want receive a sms for the hosts who are in warning / critical / recovery
host_notification_options d,r // It tell that I want receive a sms for the services who are down and recovery
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-ovhsms // The name of the notifications
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-ovhsms
}

2. you need to go to your commands file which is in /etc/shinken/commands/¶

And add these line at the end.

# Notify Service by SMS-OVH
define command {
command_name notify-service-by-ovhsms // Should be the same as in the contacts.cfg
command_line $PLUGINSDIR$/ovhsms.sh $CONTACTPAGER$ $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICEDESC$ $HOSTNAME$ $SE$ // Tell which script shinken as to use to send sms. We will create it after.
}
# Notify host by SMS-OVH
define command {
command_name notify-host-by-ovhsms * * Should be the same as in the contacts.cfg
command_line $PLUGINSDIR$/ovhsms.sh $CONTACTPAGER$ $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICEDESC$ $HOSTNAME$ $SER$ // Tell which script shinken as to use to send sms. We will create it after.
}

First you need to be the shinken user so do a : su shinken
do a : cd /var/lib/shinken/libexec/
and then create and edit your new script with the name you set above : nano -w ovhsms.sh

#!/bin/bash
date > ~/datesms
NOTIFICATIONTYPE=$2
HOSTALIAS=$3
SERVICEDESC=$4
SERVICESTATE=$5
textesms="**"$NOTIFICATIONTYPE" alerte - "$HOSTALIAS"/"$SERVICEDESC" is "$SERVICESTATE" **" // This is the message who will be send. You can add something if you want.
wget -o ~/logenvoisms -O ~/response "https://www.ovh.com/cgi-bin/sms/http2sms.cgi?smsAccount=sms-XXXXXXXX-1&login=XXXXXXXX&password=XXXXXXXX&from=XXXXXXXXXXX&to=$1&contentType=text/xml&message=$textesms" // This is the command who will send the sms. You need to adapt it with you gateway settings.
exit 0
